Basic Guidelines: In the strictest sense, nature photography should not include "hand of man elements". Please refrain from images with buildings or human made structures like roads, fences, walls. Pets are not permitted. Captive subjects in zoos, arboretums, or aquariums are permitted, but must be declared, and must focus on the subject, not the captivity. Images with obvious human made elements will likely be deleted from the thread, with an explanation to the photographer. Guidelines are based on PSA rules governing Nature photography which also cover the Nature Forum. Keep your image at/under 1000 pixels on the long axis for in-line viewing. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site at Flicker, Photobucket, your own site, etc. We post one image per week.

This one really is a Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa slime mold, but not the porioides type. The largest of the rosettes is about 4 mm in diameter.

When I was visiting the Philippines several weeks ago, I happened upon a gathering in which the endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle babies were being released to the Western Pacific Ocean - the kind of event that I saw on TV before. The eggs were hatched in an undisclosed location of the beach. Hundreds of these little guys, measuring about two inches each, were being gently dispensed from holding trays to beach sands toward the sea by eager children.
